November tour dates, new album track Hold My Girl released

09.03.18

George Ezra today announces a UK & European tour for the autumn that includes his biggest headline shows to date, including a night at The SSE Arena, Wembley, in London on 15 November. The announcement comes as George’s March UK tour sold out in 24 hours and is coupled with the release of new song ‘Hold My Girl,’ the latest track to be lifted from his highly anticipated sophomore album Staying At Tamara’s, due 23 March.

George kicked off his world tour in Australia this month and returns to the UK for a run of sold out dates in the wake of the album’s release, including a night at Brixton’s O2 Academy. He has also been confirmed for a number of summer festivals, including headline slots at Standon Calling, Boardmasters and Truck Festival. UK dates are listed overleaf, with new dates in bold, see www.georgeezra.com to purchase and for the full list of dates confirmed so far, including summer festivals and a newly announced North America tour for April-May. Register at www.georgeezra.com to be in with a chance of pre-sale tickets; tickets for the new shows go general sale at 9am Friday 16th March.

‘Hold My Girl’ comes hot on the heels of another new song ‘Pretty Shining People,’ released last week, and current single ‘Paradise’, riding high in the top five of the UK iTunes chart. Like ‘Pretty Shining People,’ ‘Hold My Girl’ is accompanied by a lyric video which sees an increasingly desperate George performing karaoke to a woefully empty working men’s club.

George will release Staying At Tamara’s on 23 March via Columbia Records in digital, CD, cassette and vinyl formats. Three years after the release of his chart topping debut album Wanted On Voyage, George returns with a collection of “songs about escapism, dreaming, anxieties and love”. Staying at Tamara’s has already received early critical acclaim, with glowing 4* reviews from The Sun and DIY, the latter of whom described the album as a “gorgeous, much needed escape”. ‘Hold My Girl’, ’Pretty Shining People’, ‘Paradise’, and ‘Don’t Matter Now’ are all available to stream and download now, with all three available as instant grats to these pre-ordering the album.

George Ezra is one of the biggest selling male artists of the decade. His debut album Wanted On Voyage is certified 4x platinum in the UK, gold in the US, and was amongst the top 10 biggest selling artist albums in this country in both 2014 and 2015, reaching #1 in the Official UK Chart and spending 122 weeks in the chart overall. In little more than 18 months Ezra went from virtual unknown to one of the international breakthrough artists of recent times: taking in a top 10 album in 10 countries; three sold out UK tours; nominations for four BRITs, one BBC Music Award and an Ivor Novello.
